République to sneak onto PS4 early next year

GungHo this morning confirmed that République, their stylish Camouflaj-developed stealth title, will be sneaking onto the PlayStation 4 early next year.

The episodic game, which is currently available for the PC and mobile devices, has nearly wrapped up its season and PS4 owners will get access to all five episodes as one complete package (via retail and digital) when it launches.

Read on for the announcement from GungHo below and stay tuned for media and additional details.

GungHo Online Entertainment America, Inc., a multi-platform publisher for the online gaming community, announced today that Camouflaj's acclaimed episodic stealth action game République is coming to the PlayStation 4 (PS4) computer entertainment system. Previously available on PC and mobile, PS4 players can look forward to experiencing the entire season-including the fifth and final episode, Terminus – in one complete package when it releases early 2016 on the PlayStation Store and in participating retail stores in North America and Europe. Release details for other regions will be announced in the near future.

In République on PS4, players finally take full control of Hope, a young woman held captive inside Metamorphosis, a shadowy totalitarian state ruled by the omnipresent Overseer. By hacking into this secret nation's elaborate surveillance network, players and Hope begin a treacherous and thrilling journey to freedom. Seattle-based Camouflaj developed the game and has received numerous awards including "Excellence in Storytelling" from the International Mobile Gaming Awards (IMGA). République has 87 percent positive reviews on Steam.

"Having been so inspired by early PlayStation titles, it's with much joy and a touch of irony that the full République experience will arrive on PS4," said Ryan Payton, founder of Camouflaj. "I can't thank GungHo enough for supporting our efforts to faithfully translate République into a true console experience."
